The Charitable Foundation of the Islands (CFI) will host Lessons on Leadership with David Drews on Thursday, November 13, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Sanibel Community House, 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.

The event will bring together nonprofit executives, community leaders, and Leadership Sanibel & Captiva alumni for an afternoon of learning, networking, and inspiration.

David Drews, a Sanibel resident, author, and leadership advisor, will share insights from his book Teamflow, which explores how teams and organizations achieve extraordinary results through alignment, trust, and collaboration. With over 30 years of experience leading and growing global organizations, Drews now advises leaders through the Center for Positive Organizations at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business.

After studying six years of academic research on optimizing teams and organizations, Drews consolidated key concepts into Teamflow—a framework describing the state of heightened teamwork and performance observed in the most effective groups and organizations. Having intuitively practiced these concepts throughout his business career,

Drews found that the research provided a vocabulary and structure for practices that consistently produce exceptional results, individually and collectively.

Drews is an alumnus of both Michigan State University and the University of Michigan. Since joining the Center for Positive Organizations in 2016 as an Executive in Residence, he has gained first-hand exposure to the pioneering scholars behind Positive Organizational Scholarship. He also applied these leadership principles during the on-island recovery efforts following Hurricane Ian and continues to implement them as a board member of three employee-owned companies.

The program will include an interactive discussion, Q&A, and networking reception with cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres.
